It is not too hard to explain the meaning of sigils in perl. It is not too hard to explain what brackets and curlies mean. The sigils give a clue of what each token is, and it is a feature of perl we all love. Why not propagate that appreciation to non-perl coders?
Anyways, if "the html whackers" don't grok that, they shouldn't probably touch embedded code at all - be it perl or some other language.
I agree, "code monkeys" should never even touch HTML 'cause if they can't grok the finner points of HTML, they're probably breaking stuff. Yes, I know devs who are far more brilliant than us, but they don't know HTML, yet need a way to interact w/ others when the need calls for it.
Language dependency does hold. I hope you aren't writing arithmetic formulas in English. Hell, any formula would make my eyes bleed. :)
Update: Dear God shoot me for my inability to use English so early in the morn. Added a comma here, spelled dependency right there.... righting? oi!

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
